 Trogophloeus (s. str.) scrobiger Cameron, Scheeepeltz, 1933, p. 10S8. 



Description. — Black. Head with tv70 moderate depressions between 

 the antennal ridges; eyes scarcely separated from base. Pronotum 

 nearly one-half wider than long, angles rounded ; disk with two feeble 

 longitudinal depressions joining the separated halves of the arcuate 

 basal depression; with fine punctures separated by fairly smooth 

 shining intervals. Elytra with punctures a little larger than on 

 pronotum but rather angular, intervals with vague ground sculpture. 

 Length, 11/2 to 2 mm. 



Type locality. — Grenada, St. Johns Kiver, Leeward side. 



Types. — In the British Museum. 



Records. — The following are the records known to me : 



Jamaica: Bath in St. Thomas (Blackweldcr station 392B), Trinity ville (Black- 

 wekler station 428). 



Puerto Rico: Agnadilla (Busck, in U.S.N.M.), Utuado (Busck, in U.S.N.M.). 



Vieques Island: (Busck, in U.S.N.M.)- 



St. Vincent: (Blackwelder station 176A). 



Grenada: (Cameron, 1923; Scheerpeltz, 1933; British Museum; Cameron col- 

 lection; U.S.N.M.). 



Sipecitnens examined. — I have seen 15 examples in the British 

 Museum, 4 in Dr. Cameron's collection, 4 in the United States Na- 

 tional Museum, and 18 collected by me during 1935-37. 



Remarks. — The description was drawn from a St. Vincent example. 

 This is one of the smallest of our species having the punctures of the 

 pronotum discrete and not obscured by ground sculpture. 



My examples were taken from under stones along the edge of 

 streams and flying at dusk.

 rounded depressions along middle; with rather fine punctures not 

 distinctly separate yet not obscured by ground sculpture. Elytra 

 finely and irregularly punctate, and with indefinite ground sculpture.
